Captivate Theatre presents Chicago: Teen Edition, a marginally toned-down version of the vaudeville-style musical about celebrity culture in 1920s Chicago, featuring murderesses vying for public adoration. 4 Stars
Fantastic revisualised teen version of Chicago by this talented young company. It's a large cast, predominantly female, and most of them feature in most songs.
